Control model selector switch 416 can based on the manual command of pressure and/or flow rate measurements or the entity accommodated based on operating personnel or other from process controller, Process Control System, automatically these control models one of them (e.g., one of them controls according to module 410,412 and 414) are selected.In some implementations, RTU 400 can receive (e.g., by this I/O or communication module 404) respectively from operation valve/actuator upstream and/or the pressure transducer in downstream and/or the measurement pressure of flow element and/or flow velocity.Control model selector switch 416 can determine whether the numerical value of above-mentioned reception meets the specified conditions be associated with each control model or module 410,412,414.If meet the one or more condition in this module 410,412,414, control model selector switch 416 can select one or more module 410,412,414, and causes RTU 400 to perform selected one or more modules 410,412,414.Such as, if flow velocity is lower than critical value, control model selector switch 416 can be selected without flow-control module 414; If or pressure is higher than critical value, control model selector switch 416 can select coverage goal control module 412.These selections are discussed further with reference to Fig. 6.

Although (namely Fig. 4 shows the optional control model different from three, original object, coverage goal and without flow control) corresponding three modules 410,412 and 414, but implement based on multiple control model the RTUs that controls and/or other process control equipments can use other quantity of control model and the module of combination of implementing other quantity.Such as, RTU can implement the control model selector switch carrying out selecting from the disparate modules such as four, five, six, and the modules corresponding from different control model is configured according to different steering logics.In addition, some control model can be implemented (e.g., within RTU) by multiple module, algorithm, routine or engine.Such as, the function of original object control module can be divided into disparate modules, routine, the algorithms etc. such as two, three, four in the storer of RTU.

The I/O of RTU 400 or communication module 404 can so that in RTU 500 and the simulation between process controller, field apparatus (as valve actuator assembly) and/or one or more network and/or digital and wired and/or radio communications.Logic between RTU 400 and one or more remote equipment connects can comprise one or more cordless communication network, such as basis agreement, Ember agreement, WiFi agreement, IEEE wireless standard etc. are convenient to the network communicated; And one or more wireline communication network, be such as convenient to 4-20mA communication, follow see field bus communication protocol or the communication of communication protocol, the network of communication etc. over ethernet.But be understandable that, the additive method setting up communication link between RTU 400 and remote equipment also can use.

Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram controlling the exemplary method 600 spraying fluid according to multiple control model.The method 600 can such as by RTUs 35,36,37,220,300 or 400, one of them be implemented.For ease of discussing, the assembly of the RTU 400 of example sees below.But the process control equipment be applicable to arbitrarily or the combination of process control equipment can realize the function that reference method 600 is discussed.

In method 600, after postponing a period of time interval (block 602), based on the pressure values received and/or flow speed value, setup control pattern (block 604).Such as, some process control equipments, such as RTU 400, can during the time interval that is predetermined or that determine, such as 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, half an hour etc., controls the pressure and/or the flow velocity that spray fluid.During above-mentioned each time interval, RTU 400 can use selected multiple control models one of them to control pressure and/or flow velocity.After each interval (block 602), follow-up control model can be selected for following time interval.

In some implementations, one of control model group of control model is therefrom selected can to comprise original object control model, coverage goal control model and without flow targets control model.RTU 400 can use original object control model to control the pressure spraying fluid, thus the storage pressure in reservoir is maintained; RTU 400 can use coverage goal control model to reduce the pressure that sprays fluid to reach or lower than the level (e.g., when this RTU 400 detects this pressure higher than critical value) of critical value.In addition, when the flow velocity of injection fluid is lower than critical value, RTU can use without flow control mode to control one or more valve/actuator.

Because above-mentioned example control model can be configured to control under given conditions to spray fluid, therefore at the block 604 of method 600, whether meet specified conditions by the current or up-to-date pressure and/or flow velocity of determining injection fluid, set, select or enable control model.Such as, the measured value (e.g., being received by I/O and communication module 404) that control model selector switch 416 can analyze pressure and/or flow velocity is determined: whether (i) sprays the pressure of fluid higher than one or more critical value; And whether (ii) sprays the flow velocity of fluid lower than one or more critical value.If meet first condition (i), then control model can be set as coverage goal control model by control model selector switch 416.If meet second condition (ii), then control model can be set as without flow control mode by control model selector switch 416.In some implementations, above-mentionedly determine that one in (i) or (ii) can be endowed priority relative to another, if to make to meet two conditions simultaneously, then based on determining that preferential in (i) or (ii) one is carried out setup control pattern.If two conditions all do not meet, in one implementation, this control model can be set to original object control model.

The method 600 of example comprises further determines whether this control model is set to without flow control mode (block 606).If this control model is set as without flow control mode, if or this be enabled without flow control mode or select, then the flow process of method 600 proceeds to block 608, herein according to without flow control mode operation valve/actuator.Discuss with reference to Fig. 9 according to the more details of the exemplary method controlled without flow control mode.On the other hand, if this control model is not set to without flow control mode, then the flow process of method 600 proceeds to block 610.

Setting can be determined whether at block 610, RTU 400, select or enable coverage goal control model (block 610).If control model is set as coverage goal control model, then the flow process of method 600 proceeds to block 612, controls the pressure spraying fluid herein according to this coverage goal control model.The more details of the exemplary method controlled according to coverage goal control model will be described see Fig. 8.On the other hand, if this control model is not set to coverage goal control model, then the flow process of method 600 proceeds to block 614.Can control according to original object control model the pressure spraying fluid at block 614, RTU 400.The more details of the exemplary method controlled according to original object control model are described with reference to Fig. 7.

Fig. 7 is exemplary method 700 process flow diagram controlling the pressure spraying fluid according to original object control model.The method 700 such as can one of them realizes by RTUs 35,36,37,220,300 or 400.Specifically, the original object control module 410 of RTU 400 can implement at least some function that reference method 700 describes.For ease of discussing, described in the assembly of the RTU 400 of example sees below.But the process control equipment be applicable to arbitrarily or the combination of process control equipment can realize the function that reference method 700 is discussed.

In the method 700 of example, original object control model 410 can determine the error (block 702) between one or more original object process variable value and corresponding original object set-point.This one or more original object process variable value can be spray the pressure of fluid, flow rate measurements and/or other measured values be applicable to arbitrarily.Original object control module 410 can receive original object set-point from the operating personnel/user of process controller or Process Control System, or original object control module 410 can determine this set-point to control the pressure spraying fluid, thus makes pressure in reservoir be maintained.Original object control module 410 by deducting the modes such as numerical value, change numerical value, squaring count value, summation numerical value, can determine the error between one or more original object process variable value and corresponding original object set-point.

Exemplary method 700 can also comprise the modified value determining being applied to previous valve placement command signal based on this error, Δ (block 704).When being applied to previous valve placement command signal, this modified value produces new valve placement command signal, and it causes valve/actuator running, thus pressure and/or the flow velocity of fluid are sprayed in adjustment.Former target control module 410 can based on various accumulation, dynamically determine and/or the parameter of predetermined PID controller algorithm, generate this modified value.Such as, the ratio of this error and other PID controller algorithms, integration, differential term can combine by original object control module 410 (e.g., summation, average etc.) generate this modified value Δ.Once generate this modified value Δ, original object control module 410 can apply this modified value to generate current or new valve placement command signal (block 706).

Original object control module 410, or other modules be applicable to of RTU 400, can utilize generated valve placement command signal to control one or more valve/actuator (block 708).Such as, the instruction of generated valve placement command signal can be sent to I/O and communication module 404 by original object control module 410, generated valve placement command signal can be sent to one or more valve/actuator by I/O and communication module 404, thus causes this one or more valve/actuator to operate based on generated valve placement command signal.

Fig. 8 is the process flow diagram controlling the exemplary method 800 spraying fluid pressure according to coverage goal control model.Method 800 such as can one of them realizes by RTUs 35,36,37,220,300 or 400.Specifically, the coverage goal control module 412 of RTU 400 can realize at least some function that reference method 800 is discussed.For ease of discussing, described in the assembly of the RTU400 of example sees below.But the process control equipment be applicable to arbitrarily or process control equipment combination can realize the function that reference method 800 is discussed.

In the method 800 of example, coverage goal control module 412 can determine that whether one or more coverage goal process variable value is higher than one or more critical value (block 802).In some implementations, coverage goal control module 412 can use the critical value of the pressure spraying fluid, and this critical value limits maximum pressure herein.Coverage goal control module 412 can control the pressure spraying fluid, thus makes it reduce and/or maintain lower than critical value.In this case, the pressure measurement spraying fluid compares with this critical value by coverage goal control module 412, determines that whether this pressure measurement is higher than this critical value.If this pressure measurement is not higher than this critical value, then the flow process of method 800 can proceed to block 804, and coverage goal controls to terminate herein.But if this pressure measurement is higher than this critical value, then the flow process of method 800 can proceed to block 806.

At block 806, coverage goal control module 412 can determine the error (block 702) between one or more coverage goal process variable value (as pressure values) and corresponding coverage goal set-point.This one or more coverage goal process variable value (as pressure values) can be different from original object variate-value and/or original object set-point with this coverage goal set-point.But, the function class discussed with reference Fig. 7 seemingly, coverage goal control module 412 by deducting the modes such as numerical value, change numerical value, squaring count value, summation numerical value, can determine the error between this one or more coverage goal process variable value and corresponding coverage goal set-point.Be also with reference to the functionally similar of Fig. 7 discussion, coverage goal control module 412 can determine the modified value (block 808) that will be applied to previous valve command signal, and generate new valve command signal (block 810) based on this modified value, and use the valve command signal operation valve/actuator (block 812) generated.

Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram according to the exemplary method 900 without flow control mode operation valve/actuator.Method 900 such as can one of them realizes by RTUs 35,36,37,220,300 or 400.Specifically, at least some function that can realize reference method 900 discussion without flow-control module 414 of RTU 400.For ease of discussing, described in the assembly of example RTU 400 sees below.But the process control equipment be applicable to arbitrarily or process control equipment combination can realize the function that reference method 900 is discussed.

In the method 900 of example, can determine that whether the flow velocity spraying fluid is lower than one or more critical value (block 902) without flow-control module 414.In some scene, interrupt owing to spraying source of supply, such as spray source of supply 204 or 308 one of them, spray the flow velocity of fluid lower than one or more critical value.In order to monitor above-mentioned or other scenes, without flow-control module 414, the flow rate measurements of spraying fluid being compared with critical value, determining that whether this flow rate measurements is lower than this critical value.If this flow rate measurements is not lower than this critical value, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 904.But if this flow rate measurements is lower than this critical value, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 906.

At block 904, can determine whether the previous control interval of RTU 400 uses without flow control mode without flow-control module 414.As discussed further with reference to Fig. 6, if previously the control interval is set, thus RTU 400 is controlled according to without flow control mode, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 908.Otherwise the flow process of method 900 proceeds to block 910, terminates herein according to the control without flow control mode.

At block 908, can determine whether time span is greater than time critical values without flow-control module 414, how long the time that this time span indicates the flow velocity of the injection fluid detected to be greater than the flow critical value of block 902 herein has.Like this, the situation of " hovering " flow velocity near the flow critical value of block 902 can be grasped without flow-control module 414, avoid without the multiple conversions between flow control mode and other control models simultaneously.If this time span is greater than this time critical values, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 910, terminates herein according to the control without flow control mode.But if this time span is equal to or less than this time critical values, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 912.

At block 906, also can determine whether time span is greater than time critical values without flow-control module 414, herein, how long the time that this time span indicates the flow velocity of the injection fluid detected to be less than the flow critical value of this block 902 has.If this time span is less than or equal to this time critical values, then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 910, terminates herein according to the control without flow control mode.But if this time span is greater than this time critical values (block 906), then the flow process of method 900 can proceed to block 912.

No matter whether arrive block 912 by block 908 or 906, without flow-control module 414 can generate with without the equal valve command signal (block 912) of flow set point, and based on this valve command signal operation valve/actuator (block 914).These can be different from the set-point that original object control module and coverage goal control module are associated without flow set point.Specifically, this can be defined without flow set point thus make generated valve command signal cause valve/actuator " block " (e.g., partly closing or the stroke of display section quantity) or close completely.Like this, once spray fluid to recover supply, this valve/actuator blocking or close can alleviate surge (e.g., the surge of flow velocity or pressure).
